* `federation/deploy/deploy.sh` was an interim solution introduced in Kubernetes v1.4 to simplify the federation control plane deployment experience. Now that we have `kubefed`, we are deprecating `deploy.sh` scripts. ([#38902](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/38902), [@madhusudancs](https://github.com/madhusudancs))

- Exposed the `apiserver_watch_cache_resource_version` metric to simplify debugging problems with watchcache. ([#125377](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125377), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery and Instrumentation]

- Introduce `ComponentSLIs` alpha feature-gate for component SLIs metrics endpoint. ([#112884](https://github.com/kubernet...

Maintainers of FlexVolume drivers should implement a CSI driver and move users of FlexVolume to CSI.

### Deprecation of klog specific flags

To simplify the code base, several [logging flags got marked as deprecated](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/system-logs/#klog) in Kubernetes 1.23.

- Windows worker nodes in a Kubernetes cluster now support Windows Server version 1903 in addition to the existing support for Windows Server 2019

- We’re working to simplify the Windows node join experience with better scripts and kubeadm. Scripts and doc updates are still in the works, but some of the needed improvements are included in 1.15.  These include:

[T int|string]               // = [T interface{int|string}]
type Constraint ~int         // illegal: ~int is not in a type parameter list
</pre>

<!--
We should be able to simplify the rules for comparable or delegate some of them
elsewhere since we have a section that clearly defines how interfaces implement
other interfaces based on their type sets. But this should get us going for now.
